Novak: Clinton-Obama Race at 50/50

The Evans-Novak Political Report offers this take on Clinton's sleaze machine:

The truce between Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) turned Tuesday night's two-hour MSNBC Democratic debate into a deadly dull affair. While it lasted, the "race debate" strained at the chords of the Democratic Party's racial alliance. Clinton cut it off, because the tiff was hurting her. It could make her election more difficult if nominated. The contest
between Clinton and Obama now appears to be 50-50.

Maybe so, on all counts.

The luster generated from the New Hampshire win has faded, and Hillary, a brilliant campaign team notwithstanding, faces an up-hill climb to convince large segments of the populace that she is a change candidate.
